This study tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings to match each person's lungs, aiming to improve breathing for patients with obesity. It involves placing a small balloon in the esophagus to measure lung pressure and guide ventilator settings.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07365072Recruiting
Prehab before lung cancer surgery: the PRIMROSE trial
This trial tests whether a program called Prehab (which helps you get stronger before treatment) improves recovery after lung cancer surgery. You may join if you have lung cancer that can be surgically removed and you are referred for Prehab.
SwanseaAges 18–90 - NCT07372508Recruiting
Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT and AI in Glasgow
This study is testing whether a low-dose CT scan, analyzed with artificial intelligence, can help find lung cancer and other heart or lung conditions early. It may be a good fit if you are a current or former smoker in the Glasgow area and meet the age and smoking history requirements.
GlasgowAges 55–74 - NCT07375667Recruiting
Airway suction guidance in ventilated patients
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT07391280Recruiting
Finding cancer, COPD, and heart failure early in the ER
This trial tests a computer program that looks at chest X-rays to help doctors spot early signs of cancer, COPD (a lung disease), and heart failure. It aims to catch these conditions sooner so patients can get the right care faster.
GlasgowAges 18 years+ - NCT01694940Recruiting
Mitochondrial disease registry and sample collection study
This trial builds a large database and collection of lab results, and possibly tissue samples, from people with suspected or diagnosed mitochondrial conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and mitochondrial DNA changes, which may improve future diagnosis and treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT00900419Recruiting
Check biomarkers during bronchoscopy in breathing and throat pre-cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signals in samples) taken during bronchoscopy or related procedures in people with severe airway pre-cancer or certain lung/throat cancers, and in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what these biomarkers mean and how they might help with diagnosis, staging, or monitoring.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–90 - NCT01068990Recruiting
Testing how to identify pneumonia germs in ICU patients
This study looks at how well doctors can detect and identify the cause of new pneumonia in people in the medical intensive care unit (ICU). It may help improve how pneumonia is diagnosed and treated in critically ill patients.
SeoulAges 16 years+ - NCT00471250Recruiting
Donate lung samples to help future lung and airway research
This study collects lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT02852928Recruiting
ChILD-EU registry for childhood lung disease samples
This trial builds a European “registry and biobank” of children with suspected or confirmed interstitial lung disease (a type of lung problem), as well as conditions that can look similar. It helps researchers learn more about these rare childhood lung diseases and connect families to future studies.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02272049RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hyperpolarized gas MRI scan for lung imaging in people 6+
This trial tests a special MRI scan that uses an inhaled, tracer gas to create clearer pictures of how your lungs work. It may help doctors see lung function more precisely in children and adults who can safely complete the scan.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6 years+ - NCT02299921Recruiting
Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT02316379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Breathing MRI test to map lung airspaces in adults
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02851043Recruiting
Non-invasive monitor to measure breathing
This study tests a device that checks breathing without needles or painful procedures. It may help doctors learn how well breathing can be measured in people with mild breathing problems, or in healthy volunteers.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 11–17 - NCT02738645Recruiting
Study of pneumonia patients in the ICU
This study follows people who are admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit (a special ICU for breathing problems) because they have pneumonia. It may help doctors better understand pneumonia in ICU patients and improve care in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03171012Recruiting
Exercise rehab with added movement retraining after stroke
This trial tests whether adding a specific movement-retraining method (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to heart-and-lung style exercise improves recovery after stroke. It focuses on people who still have one-sided weakness and can already walk a short distance.
Recife, PernambucoAges 21–65 - NCT07676773Recruiting
Remote exercise study for type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if a remote exercise program can help control blood sugar and improve fitness in people with type 2 diabetes. It is for those who are newly diagnosed or have had diabetes for up to 5 years and are not taking diabetes medication.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–69 - NCT07262541Recruiting
Measuring airway opening pressure in children on ventilators
This study tests a simple way to measure the pressure needed to open the airways in children on a breathing machine. It may help doctors provide better breathing support for your child in the intensive care unit.
ParisAges Up to 17 years - NCT04369599Enrolling by invitation
Test chest vibration during ventilation for severe lung failure
This study looks at whether a special chest “vest” and related lung measurements can improve breathing in people with sudden severe lung failure who need a breathing machine. You may be eligible if you have ARDS and can safely use the vest during mechanical ventilation.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07402512RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 958 recruiting respiratory studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a respiratory trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a respiratory trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
